I know everyone is rightfully focused on Coronavirus. But if you care about criminal justice, the story you cant look away from: Last week a county in PA retaliated against & fired 2 top public defenders simply for advocating for clients. They remain fired. A chilling effect.
“Public defenders are often the only ones privy to the real, hard-hitting truths our clients live with every day.” Montgomery County, PA fired their 2 top defenders for speaking out. Telling the truth. “A shame that will mark the county for years to come.” pennlive.com/opinion/2020/0…
Call on Montgomery County, PA leadership who fired good public defenders for doing their jobs to #ReinstateKeishaandDean.

Dear @VAArk @kenlawrencejr @JoeGalePA: In what world do you think it is appropriate, legal, or moral to fire defenders for advocating for justice?
“They earned our support by fiercely & zealously advocating for every client, establishing a holistic & trauma-informed approach to public defense, engaging in community outreach &organization, striving for reform, & serving as strong mentors & supports to us, their employees.”
